I am a graphic designer and photographer. I left the security of my job to become a digital nomad. I'm coming back from a 4 months trip in Asia where I discovered countless beauties. So I decided to keep on roaming this old planet to explore its wonders. I bought an 30 years old van, built all the interior and now I'm on the road!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a big project to help people reconnect with each others. When you look at the world right now, you feel like individualism has gotten the best of us. We became more interested in sharing a picture with the world than talking with the person next to us. Often, I’m this guy, but I’m trying to break the habits (RIP Chester), by creating more real-life interaction among people.

Given the fact that i'm traveling with a big van, I have a spare seat to offer each time I hit the road. So I invented the Travel Car Sharing (okay it already exists, but TCS sounds nice, doesn’t it?). I propose my route to anyone who want’s to accompany me. And given the fact that all travellers are broke, I don't ask any money. I only demand two things :
- First : a simple « thank you » or a book, a shower (which comes short in my campervan, unfortunately), a meal, a coffee… Basically : anything but money !
- Second : a random act of kindness to a stranger.

So my plan is to make a book with all the pictures of the people I took out on the road and who play the game of helping a random stranger. It's a long shot but I am confident !

I want to meet local people and get them to play the game. The more people I meet, the merrier the world will be.
